Frozen pizzas - Yay or Nay?
 

What do you think of frozen pizzas? Are they the devil's work, or sent from heaven?

Frozen Pizzas are the best.

I know they don't hold a candle to the real thing, but I get cravings for them all the time. They are great for a quick meal.

Quick and cheap. Awesome when I only have 15 minutes to make something, eat it, and run out the door.

Born in Brooklyn, NY.

Nuff said

They're great. Except when the middle isn't cooked enough and it's still kinda doughy, that makes me sick.

Modified!
Buy a frozen pizza on special, add sauce, herbs, mushrooms, ham, pineapple, capsicum, whatever you like until it's a hundred feet tall, and top it with mountains of cheese. Ten minutes in the oven and I dare you to find better!

Tombstones ROCK!

Definitely modified!

Nay. It only takes 5 or ten more minutes to start from scratch. Then you spend less money and get a better pizza. Just taught my spawn how to make homemade pizza this weekend.

bleh. If you think frozen pizza is good, I'm afraid you haven't tried to make your own from scratch. It's easy, fast, cheaper, and a hell of a lot better.
If you refuse to make the dough, at least buy a Boboli crust and add your own ingredients.

Nah, they suck. And they're pretty artificial; food technologists have to do a lot to make a frozen pizza crust taste like the real thing. You're talking robo-food here.

Like spick said, buy a boboli. Many independent bakeries also make pizza cruz/bread thingies that you can top with your own stuff and cook in the oven just about as quickly. And a much better product, too. I eat boboli-based pizzas often.

I modify my frozen pizzas when I get them, although it takes about the same time, sometimes it is easier to to add some shredded cheese, artichoke hears, olives to a frozen, rather than make from scratch.
Scratch is better, but from making dough to serving can take awhile.

HEY!...the name is splck...no vowels;)

Frozen pizza's are okay I guess. I eat them.

I'll eat a Digiorno's every once in a while...but I prefer to make my own.

It's not as good as making your own (I have a deep dish pizza recipe floating around on here somewhere, but it's too early in the morning to go find a link for it), but you can't beat them for convience factor when you just don't have time to cook. Staple of college existence.

"freshetta" is the best frozen one otu there

Once in a while I make my own, but my problem is the dough contracts. so I end up with a 5" thick pizza.

I like them from scratch, and use a bread maker to whip up the dough, or use the frozen dough. Frozen Cal. Pizza Kitchen pizzas rock.

The only reason I voted yes was for Tony's brand pizza and the little rectangle, schoo-like pizzas you can ocassionally find. They are so good!!
Other than those, I'm not a fan of frozen pizza.

No frozen for me ever since I found a good quick dough recipie

I enjoy my cheapass Jacks pizza. It's gotta be cooked slighty crispy though.

I make my own pizzas more often than I buy frozen ones. The dough and everything.
My favourite is as thus:
Tomato purée
Quality ham
Artichoke hearts
Black olives - no stones
Cheese - and lots of it

Mmmmm... now I'm all hungry.

Mama Celeste is the only brand of frozen pizza's that I will eat really, which is very rare. Bagel Bites aren't bad either.

sometimes as a quick meal for my daughter I'll make her a pizza from scratch using a fajita bread type deal - A little tomato sauce, mushrooms and salami and then loaded with cheese - they're actually really good.

When I do buy a frozen pizza i only buy a 'presidents choice' - i think its only available in Canada. I don't like any of the others.

It depends on the brand and what I'm craving.

Nay...

I have eaten them before, but frankly, homemade is of a different and far more superior essence...

Convenience is no substitute for quality...

Hell yes. Pizza anyway is good. Restaurant pizza is the best, but frozen is a great alternative. Also homemade is great.

Haven't you ever heard the saying "Pizza is just like sex, even when it's bad it's still pretty good."

They are good. It is simple to see why they taste good, too. When you make a frozen pizza, you lower your expectations a little. Then, when you eat it, it meets those lowered expectations, so that you are pleasantly pleased.

I like the Totino's party pizzas. They are nothing like a real pizza, but for $1 and ten minutes, they suffice nicely.

I used to eat them all the time when I was a kid. I don't know, frozen food like that is amazing when you're a kid, but now I think I prefer meals I don't have to nuke.

5-10 more minutes more? what's your recipe??

Quick tip:

Go to your local hardware store and get several 6" UNGLAZED terra cotta floor tiles, put them on the rack of your oven. (Mine takes 6, (3 tiles by 2 tiles)) This is the LEAST expensive and BEST pizza stone that you have ever used. Preheat your oven 5-10 minutes longer then you usually do, and put the pizza DIRECTLY on the stones.

Oh.. ..it's soooo good...

-SF

they're tasty, healthy, reasonably priced options, for my lazy side.

the rest of me usually wants better.

Pizza? Healthy? Whaaaaa-t??

Boy they taste pretty good, but make me fat.

The individual deep dish pizzas rock. The best are the ones made by Red Baron and Tonys. Yum

I hate pizza anyway!

I like frozen pizza's. I usually load them up with my own stuff though. Just extra cheese, bacon , olives , onions, green pepper. You are right for saying it doesnt hold a candle to the real thing. But for a quick fix they are great.

Thanks for reminding me of their existence...used to eat them all the time. I forget wich brand, but after it cooked, the crust on the bottom was paper thin and crunchy, like old pizza hut thin n crispy.

Also good are those small, greasy, ravioli-sized bitches stuffed with pizza filling, that give you 2nd degree burns when you bite into them. Forgot their name...worth the burn though..

Frozen Pizza is pretty good, especially if it is the local made up and frozen type. Some of the national brands are ok, but some taste like cardboard.

I'll burn a Red Baron if I have a craving and no time, but what I really enjoy is making a fresh french bread pizza. Damn, I'm droolin now thinking about it!

Oh yeah, do love the Bobolis too. Like spick said :lol:

I always eat those delissio pizzas. The crust is to die for.

However, nothing compares with Pizza Hut. I seem to be the only person who thinks this, however.

I think they're the great backup food always ready to be eaten within minutes. Most brands taste a lot better than plastic.

Ahhh.....Nothing better than a frozen pizza late at night.

I think that they're pretty good because they cost a lot less, and they take very little time to cook. Jacks is the best!:)

yummy

In college I SURVIVED on frozen pizza and ramen. Nothing like going to the local grocery store getting 10 frozen America's Choice pizzas for $9.

In my experience all the cheap ones taste like crap, but then again, I'll eat anything that won't kill me, so I'm not going to complain.

As for the more expensive pizzas, they are pretty good. Unfortunately you can't really microwave them, which defeats the whole purpose of frozen foods in my opinion.

Microwave / over pizzas own as long as you can get past the fact that there are a ton of calories / lack of nutrition in em and the fact that they are like impossible to cook right .. If you want it crispy your gonna have a soggy center if you want it hot then its gonna be to cold in the center or vice versa .. Hehe but if you can get past those 2 things microwave pizzas = teh pwn

Eh...I go through 6-18 month cycles where Frozen pizzas are great and I eat way too much of them to the other extreme where I simply eat no frozen pizzas. I guess I seem to have a one track mind in most things...

Pizza, fresh or frozen, is like sex. Even when it's bad...it's still pretty good!

best food ever! so easy to make and yet so good

For a young guy on his own who is learning the hard way how to cook... or should I say more truthfully how not to cook.. Frozen Pizzas are a God send. They may not be the best in the west, but they aren't bad (better than my cooking).

frozen pizzas, best frozen food ever
